Folding table cart
View Patent ↗The present invention comprises a cart for collecting, moving and storing folding tables. The cart is generally comprised of a front panel, back panel and two side members. The two side members connect the front panel to the back panel in a rectangular frame shape. The front panel has a receiving edge that is shorter than the height of a conventional table top. Each side member has an outer table bed runner and a backrest runner that meet at a wedge. The outer table bed runner slopes downward from the receiving edge of the front panel to the wedge.
1. A cart for use on a floor surface on which a user can collect, move and store folding tables, said folding tables having a table top, an edge to said table top, and a plurality of legs, said cart comprising:
a. a front panel having a first end, a second end and an upper receiving edge, wherein said upper receiving edge is configured to accept said folding tables;
b. a back panel having a first end and a second end;
c. a first side member attached to said first end of said front panel and said second end of said back panel;
d. wherein said first side member includes:
i. an outer table bed runner having a first end and a second end;
ii. an outer backrest runner having a lower extreme and an upper extreme;
iii. a wedge, located at said second end of said outer table bed runner and said lower extreme of said outer backrest runner;
iv. wherein said first end of said outer table bed runner attaches to said receiving edge of said front panel;
v. wherein said outer table bed runner slopes downward towards said wedge;
vi. wherein said outer table bed runner meets said outer backrest runner at said wedge; and
vii. wherein said outer backrest runner is approximately perpendicular from said outer table bed runner;
e. a second side member attached to said second end of said front panel and said second end of said back panel;
f. wherein said second side member includes:
i. an outer table bed runner having a first end and a second end;
ii. an outer backrest runner having a lower extreme and an upper extreme;
iii. a wedge, located at said second end of said outer table bed runner and said lower extreme of outer backrest runner;
iv. wherein said first end of said outer table bed runner attaches to said receiving edge of said front panel;
v. wherein said outer table bed runner slopes downward towards said wedge;
vi. wherein said outer table bed runner meets said outer backrest runner at said wedge; and
vii. wherein said outer backrest runner is approximately perpendicular from said outer table bed runner;
g. wherein said outer table bed runners are configured to allow said edge of said table top to slide along said outer table bed runner towards said outer backrest runner; and
h. a plurality of inner jigs, located between said outer table bed runners, having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said inner jigs attach to said receiving edge of said front panel and wherein said second end of said inner jigs attach to said back panel.
2. A cart as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a bottom open gap between said plurality of inner jigs.
3. A cart as recited in claim 2 , wherein said table top of said folding table has a circular edge, wherein said bottom open gap is configured to accept said circular edge.
4. A cart for use on a floor surface on which a user can collect, move and store folding tables, said folding tables having a table top and a plurality of legs, said cart comprising:
a. a front panel having a first end, a second end and an upper receiving edge, wherein said upper receiving edge is configured to accept said folding tables;
b. a back panel having a first end and a second end;
c. a first side member attached to said first end of said front panel and said second end of said back panel, wherein said first side member further comprises an outer backrest runner having a lower extreme and an upper extreme;
d. a second side member attached to said second end of said front panel and said second end of said back panel, wherein said second side member further comprises an outer backrest runner having a lower extreme and an upper extreme;
e. a table bed having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said table bed attaches to said upper receiving edge of said front panel; and
f. wherein said table bed includes:
i. at least one outer table bed runner having a first end and a second end;
ii. a wedge, located at said second end of said at least one outer table bed runner and said lower extreme of said outer backrest runner;
iii. wherein said first end of said at least one outer table bed runner attaches to said receiving edge of said front panel;
iv. wherein said at least one outer table bed runner slopes downward towards said wedge;
v. wherein said at least one outer table bed runner meets said outer backrest tinnier at said wedge; and
vii. wherein said at least one outer backrest runner is approximately perpendicular from said at least one outer table bed runner; and
viii. at least two inner jigs, located between said outer table bed runners, having a first end and a second end, wherein said first ends of said inner jigs attach to said receiving edge of said front panel and wherein said second ends of said inner jigs attach to said back panel.
5. A cart as recited in claim 4 , further comprising a bottom open gap between said at least two inner jigs.
